      Yeah, and the solution is to create an entirely new tracking database/registry, thus extending power even further. So backwards.

    It took them long enough. I mean it’s been happening for decades. There isn’t a month that goes by where I haven’t seen a stream get swatted. Two nights ago they swatted Will Neff and Caroline Kwan. Not the first time too. Which is sad because the police should know.
